Know Your Rights

Your abuser may have told you that you have no options. That was a lie — a deliberate one. This seminar covers every legal protection available to you: how to get an emergency protective order today, your rights under the Violence Against Women Act, what the criminal justice system owes you as a crime victim, how to protect your children in family court, and where to find free legal help. Legal literacy is not a luxury. It is survival. Produced by Colorized Community Friends and Project Shine: developing and servicing communities while training, employing, and housing battered women with children.
